Classical [[foundationalism]] considers empirical evidence (sensory data) and self-evident [[axiom]]s (math and [[logic]], for example) to be properly basic. Modern foundationalism, denies that sensory data is properly basic, as our senses can be unreliable, and accepts only self-evident axioms and beliefs which are incorrigible (unable to be proven wrong). Reformed epistemology attempts to build a bridge between these [[belief]]s, asserting that sensory data, memory and [[faith]] in [[God]] are properly basic.

Classical foundationalism considers empirical evidence (sensory data) and self-evident axioms (math and logic, for example) to be properly basic. Modern foundationalism, denies that sensory data is properly basic, as our senses can be unreliable, and accepts only self-evident axioms and beliefs which are incorrigible (unable to be proven wrong). Reformed epistemology attempts to build a bridge between these beliefs, asserting that sensory data, memory and faith in God are properly basic.
